50th Anniversary reading of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" -- King's great speech on war & peace, racism, & poverty. While Dr. King officially came out against the war in delivering this speech, he also looked beyond Vietnam to describe what might lead our country into future wars.

Dr. King delivered his powerful speech at Riverside Church in New York City before a standing room only crowd of 4,000 on April 4, 1967.
